    Default Mysterious running Intersection Snap?

    I have some sort of running osnap in acad that I can not find the option to turn it off.
    It is new to me, we just upgraded from 2006 and I did not see this.
    I have attached a image showing what looks like a intersection osnap, but it is something else.
    Has anybody else found a way to turn this off?
    It does nothing and is just an annoyance.

    Command: pdmode, enter, 0, enter
    I am pretty certain pdmode is the cause.
    Changing it to zero will leave a dot instead of a big X if you set pdmode to one (1) the points will be invisible.


    You can also use the pdsize variable to make the X smaller and less intrusive if you decide you still want the X to show up.

    I tried the pdmode and it was set to 0.
    What else do you think that I should try?

    Blipmode is turned off.
    Any other suggestions?

    We can't suggest much else without having the actual file.

    Those look like points, hence the pdmode suggestion. Can you select them and list them?

    It doesn't look like a blip, a point or an osnap. Can you select it?

    Hi

    It almost looks like the Parallel Object Snap with the two very faint lines going through the grey Hidden (vertical) Line, just above the yellow Continuous (horizontal) Line.

    Have a good one, Mike

    I can not select them.
    When I regen they stay on the screen, Also when I zoom out a little and regen they move to a different location, and them when I zoom out further they go back to original location.

    The fact that they move, then move back could point to a graphics card/display driver problem.
    Is this only on one pc? Do you have access to another pc?
